I am trying to find out what I can do with an iPad as far as playing back video is concerned. And I have the following code for a UIButton action.

- (IBAction)playClick:(id)sender {
NSBundle *bundle = [NSBundle mainBundle];
NSString *moviePath = [bundle pathForResource:@"video3" ofType:@"m4v"];
NSURL  *movieURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:moviePath];
MPMoviePlayerController *theMovie = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:movieURL];
theMovie.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeAspectFill;
[theMovie play];
MPMoviePlayerViewController *moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:movieURL];
[self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:moviePlayer];
}

video

As shown above, I do get a movie screen. I wonder if it's possible to include a navigation bar at the top (above 'Done') or the bottom (below the controller) of the movie screen so that I can add some actions while the user plays back video? I guess this topic may concern what I'm trying to do.

Thank you for your help.

    the navigation bar is already there right!!do you mean that you need to add more button items?? – DD_ Jan 20 '13 at 08:15

You can add more buttons using,

UIBarButtonItem *button = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemAdd target:self action:@selector(yourButtonAction:)]; 
moviePlayer.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = button;

Customize these buttons as per your need.

Try this .Hope that make sense.

  • Thanks. In fact, I have tried that, following tips available with 'this topic.' But a button besides Done never appears. – El Tomato Jan 20 '13 at 10:58
  • I guess the following web site has an example with sharedApplication. http://sugartin.info/2011/09/07/creating-customized-movieplayer-in-iphone-ipad-both/ – El Tomato Jan 20 '13 at 11:37
